 The Best Gift I Ever Received! January 9, 2009
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Mine was given to me as a gift. It has been perfect! It's so easy to use and keep up with. I love that I can take multiple books with me on a trip and they are all in on spot, my Kindle. It's packing made easy for a traveler like me.
 Waste of money January 9, 2009

A book is much easier to keep up with and a lot cheaper. Not sure what all of the hype is over the Kindle as I think it is very over-rated.
Love my Kindle January 9, 2009

After researching both Kindle and sony e-readers I decided on the Kindle and after recieving it so glad I did. After having some initial trouble starting (I'm truly techno challenged) I made a call to tech support who had me up and reading in seconds. I find it easy to buy and download books from Amazon and what a plus not having to buy and carry all those books, not to mention the saving in cost of hard back books. The initial cost was expensive, but worth every penny. So glad I chose the Kindle for both ease of use and conveniance.

OK - things don't always go as expected and my Christmas Kindle had a glitch on the screen. I contacted Tech Support and they had me Reset a couple of times and it soon became obvious this would not correct it. No problem. They immediately ordered a new one for me and sent me a return label to return the defective one. The new one arrived in 3 days - so they obviously have ways of getting replacements for this high-demand product. Now - how to re-download the books I had already purchased? Tech Support again. And again, great service, no waiting, they did everything for me and couldn't have been nicer. You don't need my review of the product because there are so many here that say the same thing. I love the convenience of having several books available at all times and not having the weight of them in my purse. And for a "book-aholic" who has trouble cleaning out her bookcase periodically, this is a real boon. Needless to say, it was my husband who bought this for me!
 Tough to hold on to January 8, 2009

Kindle is great for the avid reader with space and dollar savings over time. Changeable type size is great. Problems: Kindle doesn't want to stay in case. Tab in case to hook on back of Kindle is not most efficient and back cover of Kindle itself tends to slip off. You also have to develop a strategy for holding the Kindle. Almost entire right-front of unit is a "page forward." Almost entire left-front is "back page" and "next page" buttons. I spend some time getting to the current page because of pressing these buttons while just trying to hold and read.
